Only sentences containing mandatory language (shall, must, may not, no later than, within N) are reproduced — the full document is in custody and is the controlling text. • PROBATE & GUARDIANSHIP - PETITIONS TO SELL REAL PROPERTY _____________________________________________________________________________________ Whereas, section 744.361, Florida Statutes, requires that a guardian shall act in good faith, shall act in the Ward’s best interests, and protect and preserve the property of a Ward. • Whereas, section 744.447, Florida Statutes, requires the filing of a petition requesting authorization to act under section 744.441, which shall include: 1. • It is hereby ORDERED and ADJUDGED that all petitions to sell real property shall include the following: 1. • Acknowledgment that an appraisal of the real property was performed within 60 days of the filing of the petition to sell real property. • When a listing agreement is entered into, the real property shall be publicly listed for sale on the Multiple Listing Service (“MLS”); and -- 1 of 2 -- 2 3. • The petitioner shall disclose any known relationship or conflicts of interests, both familial and business related, between any of the following individuals or entities involved in the transaction to sell the Ward’s real property: seller, seller’s agent, buyer, buyer’s agent or Guardian. • The Guardian may seek leave of Court to depart from the requirements of paragraph 1 and/or 2 for good cause shown prior to or at the time of filing any petition to sell real property.

Reviewer note: Document sha256: d690ea360081a9833507ae92b018a1329c3ab8e0b0d607d325b6196dfe8d8360 (108940 bytes). BenchPath harvested this circuit itself because no research corpus existed for it. Extraction is conservative: mandatory-language sentences only, so this rule is a faithful subset of the order, never a summary of it. | Scope corrected 2026-08-03: the 18th numbers county-specific orders with -b (Brevard) and -s (Seminole); unsuffixed orders are circuit-wide. This rule was bulk-tagged to one county at harvest; the court's own numbering convention now controls.
Judge Costello's AI section simply restates amended Rule 2.515(d)(2) — the post-AOSC26-12 statewide standard — a compliance model, not a local mandate: signers certify cited authorities exist and are accurately cited, with the rule's own sanctions.
The strongest in-the-wild confirmation of the 2026 statewide AI rule: Judge Bantner's page expressly states his prior AI requirements are REMOVED because of the May 28, 2026 amendment of Rule 2.515 — signing a filing now itself certifies the authorities exist and are accurately cited.
